CLASS POEM.
Bon it a Wolff
We have dreamed of our graduation
And also of honors due,
And oft in our fondest dreaming
Came visions of classmates true.
We have worked and studied and waited,
E'en when we were "Ereshies" green,
For then 'twas our highest ambition
To have a Sophomore's mein.
And again we have delved at our studies
And our work was not in vain ;
We reached the goal we worked for :
The name of Junior to gain.
And now we thought that surely
We soon would know it all,
For we passed the Junior finals
And entered the Senior hall.
But there while we worked and waited
We found to our surprise
That we were only beginning
And each one opened his eyes.
And now we have reached the zenith ;
We thought our labors would end ;
We are not disappointed,
But we would a message send.
108 The Kadiant
The path has not always been roses,
!N"or did we expect it would be ;
And life is not behind us,
But ever before us, we see.
We're glad that we've worked thus together,
Although we have only begun,
And we're glad that we still have before us
The best of life's race to be run.
We will treasure the hours we've spent here,
And measure each day as it ends,
For we've found at our dear Alma Mater
The way to the hearts of our friends.

CLASS WILL.
Agnes Peele
Mr. President, Faculty, Felloiv-students, Friends:
The Class of 'Eighteen, about to die, salutes you !
At the behest of my noble client (she being of unsound
mind), have I called you together, before her death, to hear
her will and to receive her gifts.
My client wishes me to state that, owing to a lightness in
the head, caused by its gradual swelling during the last four
years, and a heaviness in the heart and other organs, caused
by parting and over-feasting, respectively, she may have been
mistaken in her inventory, but such as she thinks she has she
gives to you, praying that you may not believe that it is only
because she cannot keep her goods that she is generous.
THE WILL.
We, the Class of Nineteen Eighteen, being about to leave
this sphere, in full possession of our empty mind, little mem-
ory, and no understanding, do make and publish this our last
The Radiant 109
will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all
former wills by us at any time heretofore made.
And first we do direct that our funeral services shall be
conducted by our friends and well-wishers, the faculty, only
enjoining that the funeral be carried on with all the dignity
and pomp our situation in the college scale has merited. We
desire that our beloved Dr. Martin be the chief grand "High
Mogul" at our funeral ; that he use as a text for the remarks
the following passage: "Man is a vapour," that only two
hymns be sung over our remains, namely : "Life is One Con-
tinual Battle," and "I am Resolved no Longer to Linger."
As to such estate as it has pleased the fates and our own
strong arms to give us, we do dispose of the same as follows,
viz. :
Item: We give and bequeath to the Board of Control, Dr.
R. A. Smith, restful nights and peaceful dreams. We promise
him a rest from 'Eighteen's petitions. ~Ro more will we be
called upon to bend our haughty knee to supplicate ; no more
will he be pained to refuse. It has been hard to have our
fondest wishes thwarted ; it must have been hard for him to
refuse so fair a pleader. In grateful remembrance of his
many refusals we do bequeath to him a wig, said wig to be
worn only when the Senior Class is in possession of his
"Skull Cap."
Item: We give and bequeath to the faculty for their use
and benefit exclusively, all the startling information and
knowledge we have given them at whatsoever times we may
have had written quizzes and examinations. Said informa-
tion, at the discretion of the faculty, to be used in the educa-
tion of our younger brothers and sisters.
Item: We give and bequeath to the Junior Class the Senior
seats in chapel which they so greatly desire. May they be as
fond of the front row next year as they have been this. To
these new-made lords of the college world we hand over our
Senior dignity. We are afraid that this will be a strain upon
the nerves and muscles of the gay and debonair Juniors, but
110 The Radiant
we all hope that they will rise to the occasion. To them also
— with the Dean's permission — we bequeath all our Senior
privileges, too well understood to be detailed.
Item: We give and bequeath to our cherished but inex-
perienced sister, Nineteen Twenty, all the wealth of love and
blessings she may want. She seems to be able to get every-
thing else unaided. May all the coveted basket-ball and base-
ball honors be hers. May the mantle of "Abe," our cham-
pion, fall completely on Robert Jones' shoulders.
Item: To the Freshman Class we give and bequeath one
barrel of salt and a package of chewing gum. This property
is to be held in trust by Grady Spiegel and Kathlyn Jackson.
They are requested to give portions of said property to the
other "Freshies" when they deem it expedient. With this
property we give the following advice to the class, accepting
which will lead them to glory : Copy Nineteen Twenty ; learn
to work if not to win. 'Tho the way be weary, look at Nine-
teen Twenty and be encouraged.
Item: The subjoined list will be recognized as entailed
estates and personal property, to which we do declare the
Class of 'Eighteen the real and rightful owners, to dispose of
as they see fit :
1st. Lura Clay's "Wolff." The "Wolff" is bequeathed by
Lura Clay to Marion Brinson. The said Lura Clay be-
queaths to one Thelma Flanagan her mortgage on "Abe" Mat-
tox, 'Eighteen's Class President.
2d. John Waters' horn. This horn is left to Sarah Respess.
May she use it only when she is unable to use her voice. John
Waters wishes his oratorical powers bequeathed to Lawrence
Moye.
3d. Nellie Krise's "Trig." Nellie reluctantly parts with
this, her dearest possession, but knowing there is no one who
would appreciate it more than Miss Frances Harper, to her is
it bequeathed.
4th. Bonita Wolff's package of love letters. The said pack-
age, at Bonita's death, are to be given over to Miss Lill Chap-
The Radiant 111
man, with instructions that they be given by her to one certain
"Preacher," to be used by him as models in his letter-writing
during vacation.
5th. "Abe" Mattox's latest letter on Evolution, written
while he was sick with mumps. This valueless letter "Abe"
bequeaths to the young son of Leamon Carawan. To Profes-
sor B. J. Ferguson "Abe" leaves one quart of molasses — to be
eaten, not sat upon.
6th. Elsie Respess' many book reviews and educational
papers, written for Professor Grimm. Elsie does hereby be-
queath the said articles of weary labor to Warren Lappin.
She hopes a conscientious perusal of these papers will instill
in him the same "constancy of purpose" that was required in
their production. A lock of her bangs she bequeaths to "Rip"
Whorton.
7th. Leamon Carawan's collection of books of Genetics,
Evolution, et cetera. This valuable collection is left solely to
Rupert Philips, with instructions to study these and become
wise.
8th. Carrie Krise's one masterpiece of art. This picture
Carrie bequeaths to Daisy Fields, hoping that it may inspire
Daisy to strive as she has striven to become famous.
9th. Tom Mattox's "C. T. Diploma." Tom earned this
diploma by being always late on Professor Case's Ethics
Class. Although loath that this property should be given to
anyone, after thoughtful consideration Tom decided to leave
it to Sam McCotter, as a just reward to Sam for loitering on
the campus and in the halls.
10th. Lida Clay's portion of all the beans that may be
cooked in A. C. C. next year. These beans Lida gives un-
grudgingly to Helene Hudnell.
11th. Ernest Paschall's mirror, comb, soap, and powders.
Ernest bequeaths these articles to "Grude" Sadler and "Bro."
Joel Vause. Full well does Ernest realize that their demand
for such articles almost exceeds Turlington & Morrison's
supply.
112 The Radiant
Besides these personal gifts we leave all the rest and resi-
due of our property, whatsoever and wheresoever, of what
nature, kind and quality soever it may be, and not hereinbe-
fore disposed of (after paying our debts and funeral ex-
penses) to our two Deans, Miss Anna Florence Moore and
Professor W. O. Lappin, to be used in whatever way they
may see fit.
And we do hereby constitute and appoint the said Deans
sole executors of this, our last will and testament.
In witness whereof, we, the Class of Nineteen Eighteen,
the testators, have to this our will, written on one sheet of
parchment, set our hand and seal, this the twentieth day of
May, Anno Domini one thousand nine hundred eighteen.

PROPHECY— CLASS 1918.
Luba Clay
One afternoon I was sitting on the campus of my beloved
college when some gipsy women came along. They made the
usual offers to me to tell me of fame, love, and fortune if only
I would cross their hands with silver. I refused to hear of
my fame, love, and fortune that an ordinary gipsy could tell
me — but one of the women lingered behind, a veritable old
The Radiant 113
crone she was, with stringy grey hair, sharp chin and long
nose. She walked up to me and said in a cracked whisper,
"Come out to this place tonight at midnight. Bring me a
piece of cheese and a cat and I will tell you anything you
want to know." I gave my promise, for I felt that this would
be a real adventure, for the future can be read truly only at
night.
But where to get the cat? I racked my brain for some
time, then suddenly I thought of the cat at the college gro-
cery. I went over to the store and they seemed delighted to
give me the cat. I got the cheese and was ready to meet the
old witch at midnight. When the time came I was all atrem-
ble, but I slipped out, carrying the cheese and the cat, the
latter all the while giving the most unearthly yells. The moon
was bright and the stars were shining. In the shadows I saw
a moving shape. I went up to her with shaking knees and
beating heart. "Ah! you have brought my familiar spirit!"
she cried as she caught the cat and they really seemed glad to
see each other. She ate the cheese and after waiting a few
moments asked me what I wanted to know. "I want to
know the future of each member of my class," I answered.
She muttered some unintelligible words and it seemed to me
that I was borne away in the air, and sure enough I was
sailing through the air with the old woman, on the cat's back.
We descended in a country district, near a church. There
were many people going in to service. Though we could see
the people easily enough we were invisible to them. After
church was over the people came out and the last to come was
a stout, dark-haired man, with a Bible in his hand. It was
none other than our old classmate, Tom Mattes. He had
found his niche in the world, serving the country church.
There was a little woman with him, but I could not see her
face. They seemed very happy, indeed, for Tom wore his
usual genial smile.
We did not linger long, for there were many places to go.
Next we came to a city and we went down in the slums.
114 The Radiant
There was a large Settlement House and we went in. Young
men, old men, and boys were listening eagerly to a tall, ath-
letic man, who was talking. His eyes were bright and I could
see that the men hung onto every word. It was in one of our
large cities in North Carolina. The man was Leamon Cara-
wan, one of the most successful social workers in the South.
Again I had a ride through the air, and this time I alighted
at the door of a large brownstone mansion in New York. In-
visible as I was I entered, and I saw a man and a woman.
The man was large and jolly, with a bald head — just the kind
of a man who likes good things to eat. I heard him say, "Yes,
my darling Nellie, when you made that good pie for me I said
to myself, 'such a good wife deserves another diamond,' so I
brought this one to you." I peeped through the curtains and
saw Nellie Krise kissing her old fat, jolly husband.
Again I was whisked away and I found myself in a large
city church. The people were talking around me about the
wonderful preacher that was coming. The people became
suddenly quiet and I sat down and listened to a wonderful
flow of oratory and eloquence until I was ready to confess all
my sins. The voice seemed familiar, yet I could not make
out the man until he thundered forth, "Repent ye, for the
day of judgment is at hand !" Then I recognized our class
orator, John Waters.
The next place I visited was a beautiful bungalow. It was
a warm summer day. The porch was cool and inviting and I
sat down to rest a minute from my terrible ride. A small,
dark-haired woman came out on the porch, leading two little
children. She walked over to the porch swing and all sat
down. As soon as they were seated the boy, a sturdy little fel-
low of about five years, said, "Please, mother, tell us about the
time daddy got hurt in the big war." When the lady began to
talk her face became animated and her brown eyes lighted up.
I caught the words, "And so Jeff — daddy, I mean — brought
the Boche plane down." I knew my chum, Bonita Wolff.
Again I was flying over land and sea. I came to a pretty
The Radiant 115
warm country. I could see the flowers, trees, and jungle
growth and in the distance the desert. We descended near a
settlement of black savages, for it was Africa. We traveled
on to a white cottage. I was surprised to see this sign of
civilization in so remote a place. Beyond the cottage was a
little white church. But my surprise was even greater when
"Bro. Joel" came out of the cottage, got on a mule and rode
off. I thought to myself, Why am I seeing this ? Surely this
has no bearing on the Senior Class. Then I went nearer and
a dark-haired woman came out on the porch, waving farewell
to him. It was Agnes Peele.
There were many surprises in store for me, it seemed, and
I was not astonished to be transported many miles away to
U. S. A. again. We were in a large hospital. I went from
ward to ward, seeing the patients. Those who were able to
talk were talking of the grand doctor and his angel nurse.
Finally I came to an office. On the door was marked, "J.
Ernest Paschall, M.D." I walked in and stood watching the
eminent surgeon talking with a nurse. She was a tall, hand-
some woman, with dark hair. Imagine my surprise when the
nurse looked around and I saw the beautiful Elsie Respess.
I had imagined other things for Elsie, but she had a trail of
broken hearts behind her and was still Miss Respess.
Again I went traveling on my strange steed, and this time
I came to a college. I wandered around the campus, admir-
ing the place and watching the students. I walked up to the
front entrance of the main building. Over the door were the
words, "Atlantic Christian College." I knew that the new
college building had been built. I walked in, very anxious to
see it all. A group of students were gathered around a tall
professor, in one of the rooms. He was explaining something
on the blackboard to them. I went closer aand found Honest
Abe explaining the theory of evolution. I was astonished, for
we had all expected Abe to be a preacher. But the theory of
evolution had been his strong point in school and he had it
worked out better than Darwin. Students came hundreds of
miles to hear him.
116 The Radiant
I had only two more of my classmates to see before I had
seen them all. So the old crone told me to stick tight and not
be astonished at anything I should see. They had always
been together at school and so they were together now. We
were in a lecture hall. The man who introduced them said,
"The lady who will speak needs no introduction to you, for
you have heard of her wonderful reputation, that she is the
most famous lecturer in the United States. Miss Carrie
Krise will speak on the subject, "How to he Happy, Though
Married." Her fellow lecturer, Miss Lida Clay, will speak
on the subject, "The Advantages of Single Blessedness/' I
was carried away before I got to hear these ladies speak.
Again I was on the A. C. C. campus and before I could ask
the old witch my own future she was sailing away up into the
sky, on the back of her faithful cat.
HISTORY OF THE SENIOR CLASS.
W. T. Mattox
The year nineteen hundred fourteen has so figured in the
course of human affairs that it has stamped itself indelibly
upon the minds of all peoples and the histories of all civilized
nations. Previous to that year much was predicted by
"modern prophets" concerning what it would bring forth. In
due time it came, bringing two consequences worthy of note :
One — the great war which has made its impress upon the
world ; the other — an assembly of young men and women at
Atlantic Christian College to begin what has been to them,
though they were unconscious of its magnitude at the time, a
great fight the victories of which are left for future years to
reveal.
This little army numbered only fourteen. They had had
but little training, and less experience in "real" fighting; for
many of their former generals had never had experience in
such battles as these were called to fight, and many of them
The Kadiant 117
who had were indifferent as to the success of their soldiers.
Having assembled these soldiers soon found their way to the
office of registration and there they were given orders by
Commander-in-chief Caldwell, as to time, place, and method
of attack. They set out, eager to carry out the orders of their
chief commander, without knowing exactly with whom the
struggle was to be. The procedure was not without its dis-
couragements, for shortly they began to notice that they were
called "Freshies." But realizing that this term would be
applicable to them only one year, they took courage and
fought bravely on. Another discouragement soon came : they
learned that before the fight ended they were expected to
meet and master some of the world's greatest men, such as
Darwin, Shakespeare, Xenophon, and Caesar. But they were
brave and dared not turn back. They continued the battle
through the year, and in May, 1915, were given furloughs
with orders to report for service the following September.
September found only five of the fourteen back to meet the
enemy. Why the others never reported we have never known.
The five who reported were Bonita, Ernest, John, "Abe," and
the writer. This year brought a new recruit to our standard
in the person of Elsie. We were no longer "Freshies," but
wise "Sophomores." During this year our commander real-
ized that Bonita was Caesar's bitterest enemy, and that Caesar
must be devoured by her. John was to meet Xenophon, whom
he dreaded in the open, therefore his method was generally
maneuvering. Ernest strove to master Darwin, while "Abe"
vied with Spurgeon. Elsie, whose first year this way, was
held in reserve, reinforcing each of the others when her aid
was needed. The writer had by this time become skilled in
the art now known as "camouflage," which he practiced when-
ever it was possible. We held the line securely till May,
1916, when another furlough was granted each one. When
we were given our furloughs we learned that we were to take
up arms under another commander-in-chief, whose name was
Smith.
118 The Radiant
After three months rest every soldier returned, refreshed
and eager to renew the fight. This time they were joined by
five others who had seen service on another front. These five
were Agnes, Lyda, Lura, Nellie, and Carrie. Our fight for
two years had been for the most part a defensive one. But
now that our forces were nearly doubled and we for the first
time had a scientific cook, we were able to take the offensive.
These five proved themselves efficient soldiers by helping to
take by storm the trenches of the enemy.
June found each soldier at his home, rejoicing over his
victories, and over the fact that he had only one more year of
fighting. When September came every soldier was back on
duty. This time they were joined by another recruit of con-
siderable experience, having seen service on two other fronts.
He was Mr. Carawan, the only "dad" in our army. He has
proven himself a valiant soldier. For nine months these
twelve have fought and rejoiced, side by side. The result of
our battle must be left for future years to reveal.
"We came, we saw, we conquered."
THE EYE OF THE IDOL.

CHAPTER IV.
As soon as dawn began to break, Dreyfuss and Jackson im-
mediately made their way to the Beverly mansion. The day
was bright and clear, so different from the day before, and
in consequence the spirits of the two men were higher; for
since their discoveries of the night before their search seemed
to be nearing its end.
When they reached the house the two passed around to the
rear. The attention of both was attracted to one fact, that the
door was still open as they had left it the night before, giving
ample proof that no one had entered the house during their
absence.
The Radiajstt 119
"Drey," said Jackson, "do you have any definite idea as to
where you lost that note-book ?"
"No," came the answer, "I don't, except that it is in this
park somewhere; for I am certain that I had the book in my
hand when I started to help you last night."
"Then you may have dropped it inside the house, so let us
begin our search in there."
Accordingly the two ascended the steps and disappeared
through the doorway. Their search of the hall did not take
them long, however, for they soon saw that the precious note-
book was not there.
"Well, it's not in here," said Dreyfuss, after a time break-
ing the oppressive stillness, "so it must be outside. ISTow I
seem to remember having it in my hand when I stopped on
the porch to listen last" —
"Sh !" hissed Jackson, softly, at the same time pointing
toward the other end of the garden.
"What is that moving down there ?"
Looking in the direction Jackson indicated Dreyfuss could
see the shrubbery at the other end of the garden moving vio-
lently. What was causing the disturbance was immediately
clear. Straining their eyes for a glimpse of the cause of the
commotion they watched silently. Soon there came into view
the form of a man. He was on hands and knees, and, as could
now be plainly seen, was searching for something. Entirely
ignorant of the presence of the two watchers he slowly but
steadily drew nearer them. More and more clearly the figure
of the man was outlined, until the suspicion that was in the
mind of both became a certainty, for the man was none other
than Pertab Sing.
When the Hindoo came to the place where Dreyfuss had
fallen over the bench the night before the watchers in the hall
were electrified to see him suddenly stop and pick up some
object with a grunt of surprise. Then he stood up and re-
vealed the object that had caused his surprise. It was a
small note-book.
120 The Radiant
"Beverly's diary," exclaimed Dreyfuss. And not heeding
Jackson's whispered admonition to remain where he was, he
immediately leaped through the door and down the steps, and
ran with all the speed he could command toward the Hindoo.
Pertab Sing, hearing Dreyfuss' exclamation, looked up
just in time to see the young professoor leap through the door.
Realizing that large though he was he was yet no match phy-
sically for the psychologist, the Hindoo turned quickly and
ran for the gate at the end of the park, through which he had
made his escape the previous night.
It was soon apparent that Dreyfuss could not possibly over-
take the Hindoo, for the distance between the two became con-
stantly greater. Dreyfuss soon gave up the chase therefore,
and slowly made his way back toward the house. His temper
was rather ruffled. "Why hadn't Jackson kept up the chase ?"
he angrily demanded of himself; for his friend was a much
better runner than either he or the Hindoo. He knew that
Jackson had begun the chase, for he heard the latter leap
down the steps behind him. Jackson seemed to have failed
him completely at a crucial moment.
Jackson had started to follow his friend, but had continued
but a few paces. Suddenly he had stopped, retraced his steps
a few feet, stooped down and picked up some object out of the
grass. He was holding this object in the palm of his hand
when Dreyfuss returned to him, smiling a satisfied smile as
he gazed at it.
Dreyfuss was still in a bad humor when he came back to the
spot where his friend was standing. Now that the Hindoo
had made his escape, taking the diary with him, he felt that
all was lost and that he might as well give up. No wonder,
then, that he had a dejected look.
"Why did you not come along and help catch that scoun-
drel ?" he demanded of his friend, in a bitter tone. "Now he's
gone, and has taken our only bit of evidence with him.' We
have nothing now that will even help to prove Ruth's inno-
cense; absolutely nothing."
The Radiant 121
"Oh, don't be so sure of that, old man," was Jackson's sur-
prising answer. "Just look at this little article I have here.
I saw it lying here in the grass, and that's the reason I stopped
running."
"The ruby," gasped Dreyfuss, for that was what Jackson
held up for him to see. "That's the reason that rascal was
prowling around here this morning; he was looking for his
ruby. But," he continued, the old disconsolateness coming
over him again, "even though he didn't find it he found some-
thing of much more value to us."
"That may be so," came the cheery reply of his friend, "but
I have a plan formulating in my head for the use of the ruby
to accomplish our purpose. I believe that it will be effective,
too."
"I don't see how the ruby can help us," answered Dreyfuss
gloomily, still unconvinced.
"Well, I don't have it all worked out yet myself. But let's
go back to the village ; we can't do anything more out here this
morning." Accordingly the two set out down the river.
When they came to the main highway they were forced to
one side of the drive by what seemed to be some kind of
parade. There were a number of vehicles in the line, each
filled to its capacity with laughing, joking people. On seeing
Dreyfuss and Jackson a large man driving the leading horse
accosted them.
"I say, can you tell me, is this Beverly park \ We've got
that park hired for a picnic today. The whole village is here,
even the visitors at the inn. Left D — at three o'clock this
morning."
On being informed that this was the right place the proces-
sion moved on and the two friends continued on their way
back to the village, forgetting all about the incident, or at
least Dreyfuss did, for the time being.
Arrived at the village, they went at once to the jail. Drey-
fuss had decided during the short walk that the best plan
would be to have the jailer search for the Hindoo and arrest
122 The Radiant
him. As to what to do then, however, he was at a loss to
know. But he thought that perhaps he could think of a solu-
tion by the time the arrest was made.
At the jail they met with a still colder reception than they
had met with on their previous visit. Dreyfuss related their
adventures of the night and the loss of the diary. To this
narrative the constable listened with a half-sneer On his lips.
When Dreyfuss suggested the arrest of the Hindoo the con-
stable interrupted gruffly: "No, Hi won't do hit. Hi know
my business. Hi don't believe a word of that story of yours.
You're just trying to force the guilt of that murderess back
there on the 'ead of an hinnocent man. ~No, Hi'll not arrest
'im, but Hi'll tell you what Hi've 'alf a mind to do. Hi've
'alf a mind to lock you both up for breaking into that house,
and Hi would, too, if Hi really thought you did it."
"Just a minute, constable," interrupted Jackson. "We
didn't mean to show you how to handle your business; we
know that you are perfectly competent to do that, without
any suggestion from us. That was just one of my friend's
ideas, and of course, it's preposterous. But he wants to see
Miss Beverly for a few minutes. So let's you and I sit here
by the window and chat awhile."
The officer became immediately amiable, his ruffled vanity
being easily smoothed by the influence of such talk. Of
course he would be glad to let the gentleman see the Miss, and
he would be back in just a minute.
After the jailer had left to take Dreyfuss to Ruth's cell,
Jackson sat down by the window to await the former's return.
His attention was attracted to an old man, oddly dressed, who
was passing on the street. Just then the jailer returned.
"Who is that old man just passing ?" asked Jackson.
"Oh, that," answered the jailer, "is old jGreorge, the town
crier, but 'e 'asn't 'ad hanything to do in nearly five years
now. Don't suppose 'e hever will 'ave hagain."
The two men then conversed on various topics until Drey-
fuss' return, Jackson always flattering the old constable, for
The Kadiant 123
he felt that he would need the help of the old man's authority
before long. As Jackson talked he thought, "What will be
the best plan V was the question in his mind. When Dreyfuss
returned he had come to a conclusion.
As soon as Dreyfuss entered the room Jackson saw that he
had given up all hope. "Well, Con, old man," he said in a
husky voice, "we may as well go back to Manchester. We've
done the best we could, but it's hard to think that I've failed
Euth in her desperate need. Still, as I said, we had better go
back to Manchester. A train leaves in ten minutes."
"Yes, old man," answered Jackson, cheerfully, "I agree
with you there. We may as well go back to Manchester
for breakfast." Then, suddenly turning to the jailer, "Will
you listen to what that Hindoo has to say if we get him where
he'll talk?"
"Yes, Hi'll do that much," assented the constable. "But
Hi'll tell you now, we'll hall be wasting time, for that girl is
guilty, and that 'indoo 'as been a servant in the family for
years and there's never been a thing hagainst 'im."
With this promise the two young men left the older one and
made their way to the station. On arriving in Manchester
they went to a restaurant and ordered their breakfast. Dur-
ing the meal Jackson unfolded the plan which he had con-
ceived, to which Dreyfuss consented, albeit somewhat dubi-
ously.
Hastily finishing the meal the two- proceeded at once to the
nearby establishment of a theatrical costumer. Not long after
they had entered the shop two prosperous-looking, middle-aged
business men, dressed in the customary tweeds, emerged from
the building and hastened toward the station. One would
never have recognized them as being our former friends, but
nevertheless they were Dreyfuss and Jackson. This time
they bought tickets, not to B — but to D — , the village from
which the picnic party had set out that morning.
Arriving in D — they at once set out to find some sort of
vehicle which would convey them to Beverly park. At last
2
124 The Radiant
they found a farmer from, whom they were able to hire a horse
and cart for the day.
All the way to the Beverly mansion the two were silent, but
the same thoughts were running through the minds of both.
Would this plan, their last chance, be successful? Neither
could answer the question — they could only hope.
Just before reaching the Beverly home they stopped the
horse and tied him behind a hedge near the road. Then, by
making a wide circuit on foot they came up behind the house
and quietly joined the group of picnicers in the park. Their
arrival was unnoticed and no one suspected but what they had
been there all day.
After a brief stay at the picnic ground the two walked
slowly to B — . Going to the inn they registered in the bat-
tered ledger that the old proprietor pushed across the well-
worn table which served as his desk. Yes, he could give the
gentlemen adjoining rooms if they wished. Yes, there was a
door connecting the rooms.
Dreyfuss and Jackson immediately went up to the rooms
and spent some time in arranging their disguises, which had
become disordered during their journey. This done, how-
ever, Jackson set out to find old George, the town crier,
whereas Dreyfuss walked to the jail to remind the jailer of
his promise and to warn him to be ready at any time. After
he had accomplished this he returned to the inn, went up to
the rooms that he and Jackson had engaged and sat down
there to await his friend's return.
Jackson also quickly accomplished his mission. He found
old George sitting under a spreading tree in front of his
small house idly smoking his short, black pipe. Of course he
would accept the job. What was it ? Oh, just cry that a ruby
had been found at Beverly park by one of the picnicers from
D — and that the owner could have the same by calling in
the morning at room five at the tavern. "Certainly Hi'll do
it," he said, eagerly accepting the five^pound note Jackson
pressed into his hand.
The Radiant 125
Soon the voice and bell of the crier could be heard pro-
claiming the news to all the country-side.
As soon as Jackson returned to the rooms the two friends
set to work putting the last touches to their well-laid plans.
"I wonder," spoke Dreyfuss, pointing to the door that con-
nected their room, "if that door there could be opened with
any degree of quietness ?"
Jackson at once crossed the room, noiselessly turned the
knob and the door swung open without the slightest creak to
betray its opening.
"You see it's all right," he said. "I tried it when we first
came up."
After this remark nothing of consequence passed between
the two during the rest of the evening. Their conversation
was interluded by long lapses of silence. Both feared for the
success of the plot. Would the Hindoo see through it and
not come for the ruby or would he suspect nothing? Such
were the questions that both took to bed with them that night.
chapter v.
With the first trace of dawn Jackson was awake. He went
to his friend's room to waken him, but found Dreyfuss sitting
silently by the window, gazing out on the awakening day.
"Why so solemn, old man ?" was Jackson's greeting. "Have
you forgotten that this is the day that we clear Ruth en-
tirely ? Why, our trouble is nearly at an end."
"I hope that you are right," spoke Dreyfuss, dubiously.
"But I was just wondering if that Hindoo will see through
our disguise and spoil our plan ?"
"Not a chance in the world," answered Jackson, cheerily.
"Why, I scarcely know you myself." But in spite of Jack-
son's easy assurance the same thought had given him much
worry.
After a hurried breakfast the two returned to their rooms,
where began the most trying time of their wait.
126 The Eadiant
Finally, however, there was a light step in the hall and a
hurried knock at the door.
The friends Were at once alert. Jackson noiselessly crossed
the room, opened the door to his own room, and closed it be-
hind him. It was his duty now to have the constable in the
empty room, ready when Dreyfuss should want him.
As soon as Jackson was safely out of the way- Dreyfuss,
with one last glance into the mirror to make sure that his
disguise was in place, called a welcome, "Come in !"
In response to his invitation the door swung open and the
Hindoo stood in the doorway.
Dreyfuss, with his heart in his throat lest he be recognized,
spoke to him. "Come right on in and have a chair," motion-
ing him to a chair near the window. "I suppose," he con-
tinued, "that you have come in regard to the ruby which my
friend and I found in the park yesterday ?"
"Yes, I have come for my ruby," came the hurried answer,
as the Hindoo, entirely unsuspecting Dreyfuss' true identity,
took the chair offered him. "Give it to me at once, please,
and I will reward you with anything reasonable that you
ask."
"Of course, if the ruby is your property," answered Drey-
fuss, "you shall have it. But to be sure, please give me a
description of the jewel which you lost."
"I will do so if you wish," came the Hindoo's reply, in
rather vexed tones. "It is a deep red Burmese ruby, -about
the size of a pigeon's egg, oval, and nearly flat on top but
rounded beneath."
"You have certainly described the stone which we found,
but even though you have given the description of the ruby
that does not necessarily prove that the ruby is legally your
property. Therefore it would probably be a good idea for
you to tell how you came to have the stone, and how you
came to lose it at Beverly park."
"Well, since you demand it, I will tell you," began the
Hindoo, impatiently though without hesitation. "I am an
The Kadiant 127
importer of Ceylonese and Burmese rubies, with my head-
quarters in London. Last week I received a message from
Mr. Beverly asking me to call on him and bring with me the
most beautiful ruby I could find. He said that he wished to
buy one for his daughter. I came day before yesterday, not
knowing of Mr. Beverly's death, and went immediately to the
Beverly home, but found no one there. Before returning to
town I took the ruby out of my pocket to look at it, for the
stone is exceedingly beautiful and I am a great admirer of
rubies. Just then I heard a noise from the drive and looking
up I saw a large, ferocious dog making for me. Of course,
not having any weapon with which to defend myself, I turned
and ran. As I ran through the park I dropped the ruby. I
did not stop to pick it up, intending to return later. After I
had escaped from the dog, and he clear of the premises, I
returned to look for the ruby, but could not find it. I had
given up ever seeing it again when I heard the crier with
your proclamation. Then I came for my property and would
be very glad if you would return my ruby now, for I am in a
hurry to return to London."
During the whole of this speech the Hindoo had been
fidgeting nervously and it was apparent that he was anxious
to get his hands on the stone and be gone.
"Yes, I am perfectly willing to give you the stone now, but
you will have to wait a few minutes. My friend has it with
him and he has just stepped out to get us some cigarettes.
While we are waiting for him," he continued, striving to keep
the Hindoo from remonstrating, "I have some beautiful
crystals here that I have collected that would perhaps interest
you."
As he spoke Dreyfuss opened the bag he had brought with
him and took out a number of crystals, one of which was a
large and perfect specimen. Dreyfuss placed it on the table.
His heart was beating wildly now. Would his deeply-laid
plan succeed ? Slowly he had been baiting the well-hidden
trap and now he was nearly ready to spring it. Would the
128 The Radiant
Hindoo become alarmed at the last moment and frustrate all %
But the Hindoo, entirely without mistrust, became at once
deeply interested. Carefully, so as not to alarm his subject,
Dreyfuss set about his task. Slowly the expression on the
face of the Hindoo began to change as the influence of Drey-
fuss's will over his more and more exerted itself, for, remem-
ber, that John Dreyfuss was one of the leading psychologists
of his day, and possessed that power which many psycholo-
gists possess, of hypnotic influence.
Suddenly the form of the Hindoo became tense. Into his
eyes there came a far-away look. He was now entirely under
Dreyfuss' control.
Quietly Dreyfuss stepped across the room, and noiselessly
opened the door between his room and that of Jackson, admit-
ted the latter and the constable. The jailer's face wore a look
of perplexity ; on seeing the Hindoo he started to protest, but
Jackson's quick guesture of silence quieted him.
Dreyfuss began his work with that methodicalness which
was so characteristic of the man.
"Who are you ?" was his first question.
"Pertab Sing," came the answer, in a muffled voice, "priest
of Krishma, the Beloved, at Khatamander."
"What ?" exclaimed Dreyfuss, in astonishment ; "then how
does it happen that you are in England as a common house
servant ?"
"I am in quest of the 'Eye of the Idol,' " came the reply, in
the same muffled voice, the lips of the Hindoo scarcely mov-
ing.
"What do you mean by 'The Eye of the Idol' ?" was the
next question.
"The great ruby in the forehead of Krishma, the Beloved,
at Khatamander," was the Hindoo's answer.
"But how did the stone come to England ?" questioned
Dreyfuss.
"When the English captured Khatamander, in 1858, thirty
years ago," replied the Hindoo, "the ruby was removed from
The Eadiant 129
the forehead of Krishma by a young officer named Beverly.
The priests swore an oath to regain it. One of them was shot
by Beverly while making the attempt. Beverly then became
alarmed and sent the ruby to England for safe keeping."
"But how did you become associated with Beverly V
"I was the youngest of the priests. I forfeited my caste
and entered into the service of Beverly. For thirty years I
served him in India and in England ; but never, until the day
of his death, did I see the ruby."
"How did Captain Beverly meet his death?" questioned
Dreyfuss.
Jackson and the constable were standing on tip-toe now, in
their interest, awaiting the answer to the question.
"Krishma," answered the muffled, tired voice, "avenged
himself ; I, his priest, struck the blow."
"Tell of it," came Dreyfuss' words, in tone of command.
The Hindoo came to his feet instantly. In his eagerness
Dreyfuss had, by his sharp words, broken the spell. The
Hindoo glanced around as if seeking some avenue of escape.
By the presence of the three men in the room he seemed to
sense his danger.
"Give me my ruby," was his words, spoken in a steady
voice, "and I will go."
"No," came Dreyfuss' voice, in a tone of finality. "'No,
Pertab Sing, priest of Krishma, you will not go. You will
stay and pay for the murder of Captain Beverly, to which you
have just confessed."
Before either of the three men could stop him the Hindoo,
with a quick motion of his arm, destroyed all hopes of legal
punishment for his crime. All three men saw the white
powder pass from the sleeve of the murderer into his mouth.
"No," he cried, in exultant tones, "the priest of Krishma,
the Beloved, will not" —
The sentence was not finished ; the words died in his throat ;
the deadly Indian poison had done its work. The Hindoo of
royal blood lay dead on the floor at their feet.
130 The Radiant
Dreyfuss slowly drew the precious stone, now the property
of Ruth, from his pocket. The stone for which three men had
already given their lives. Was the thing cursed ? Would the
next possessor meet the same fate the others had met ? These
were questions that ran through him mind as he held in his
hand the ruby of matchless beauty, taken from the forehead
of Krishma, the Beloved, in the temple at Khatamander by
the young English officer.
The Kadiant 131
Atljirttra
A. C. C, 1; State College, 15,
In the first game of the season the college team was over-
whelmingly defeated by State College, by the score of 15-1.
The one-sided score, however, does not show the true relative
strength of the two teams. Chapman, pitching his first col-
lege game, sent fourteen of the State boys back to the bench
via the strike-out route, and had he received the backing by
his team-mates that they have since shown they are capable of
giving, the final score would have been decidedly different.
A. C. C, 2 ; Trinity Park, 3.
On the next day the team crossed bats with the Trinity
Park team. Again they were defeated, this time, however,
by the score of 3-2. But for a balk by Dupree, which allowed
the winning run, the score would have been a tie at the end of
the regular playing time. Outside of this break, however,
Dupree pitched a creditable game and deserved to win.
A. C. C, 3 ; Elon, 11.
At Elon on the following day the team again met defeat by
a score of 11-3. Champan, starting his second game in three
days, proved unequal to the task, as did Dupree, who followed
him. At the end of the third inning, when "Abe" took up
the pitching burden, the score stood 10-0 in favor of Elon.
From then on the game took a different turn. Our boys put
three runs over the plate in the sixth, while after the fourth
inning, when the Elon team annexed another score, Mattox
had their sluggers completely at his mercy.
A. C. C, 6 ; Fremont, 0.
The first game at home was played with the Fremont team,
and the college boys emerged with flying colors, having a
132 The Kadiant
score of 6-0 in their favor. Chapman, after a week's rest,
held their hard hitters completely at bay, while the college
boys got to Aycock's offerings at will.
A. C. C, 8 ; Donaldson, 7.
The most interesting game of the season was played in Wil-
son with the team representing the Donaldson Military Acad-
emy. Champan again had the hurling assignment, and out
side of one bad inning, when the Donaldson team scored six of
their seven runs, pitched a creditable game. When the college
team came in for their last turn at the bat in the ninth inning
the score stood 7-3 in favor of Donaldson. Paschall ran out
an infield tap to open this round. Holden singled ; Chapman
was hit, filling the bases. Lappin was passed, forcing in a
run and leaving the bases loaded, with none down. Here the
visitors became alarmed and their coach went into the box.
Dunkley greeted his third offering with a wallop that carried
the "pill" far over the right-fielder's head, and before the ball
could be returned to the diamond three runs were over the
plate and Dunkley had reached third in safety, from where
he scored a moment later on Brinson's slow roller down the
third base line. This play ended a game that was the most
exciting one from the spectators' point of view seen in this
part of the country for some time.
A. C. 0., 13 ; Wakelon, 0.
In their last game the college team put it over the Wakelon
team to the tune of 13-0. Chapman had the visitors com-
pletely at his mercy and, backed by fast fielding on the part
of his team-mates, kept the Wakelon boys in such a position
that they were never dangerous.
Field Day.
It has been decided by the Athletic Association and Faculty
to hold an inter-class field day on Monday afternoon of
commencement week. The usual field day events will be par-
The Eadiant 133
ticipated in, each class being allowed two entrants in each
event. First, second, and third ribbons will be given the first
three contestants to finish in each event, and in addition a cup
will be given the class that in the end has annexed the highest
number of points. A pennant will be given the class finishing
second. A great deal of interest in this day is looked for, as
the classes are pretty well matched.

X-ray equipment forfield hospital serviceand many
other products, for both combatant and industrial
use, did their full share in securing the victory.
In theG-E laboratories are employed highly trained
physicists, chemists, metallurgists and engineers —
experts of international reputation. Thesemenare
working not only to convert the resources of Nature
to be of service to man, but to increase the useful-
ness of electricity in every line of endeavor.
Scientific research works hand in hand with thede-
velopment of new devices, more efficient apparatus
and methods of manufacture. It leads to the dis-
covery of better materials, which ultimately make
happier and more livable the life of all mankind.

AN APPEAL TO THE ALUMNI.
We are anticipating a good and great meeting of the Alumni
Association during commencement week of this year. There
is no reason why we may not have present a large number of the
former graduates of our Alma Mater. Let every one that reads
this number of the "Radiant" resolve to be in Wilson to visit
the school during commencement and to attend the Annual
Alumni Banquet,
The College is pushing ahead with a constructive program.
And it is the duty of every graduate to make sure that no op-
portunity slips by for him to serve the interest of his Alma
Mater.
In May while the members of the Association are in Wilson,
we hope to formulate a plan whereby each former graduate
may become a member of a committee whose business shall be
to aid the administration of the school in its endeavor to secure
students, in securing financial support, and in short, to assist
the school in every possible way. This plan must be worked
out by members of the Alumni Association. May we count on
each one as another to promote such a program as indicated?
We are agreed as a whole that the Association has not hereto-
fore functioned in the life of the school as a body of this type
and character should. This fact is due to one of two causes;
namely, the Association has either neglected its possibilities
or having seen them has passed them by with little or no serious
concern.
There are numerous interests of the school which the Alumni
The Radiant 97
are under obligation to safeguard and promote. In the first
place, this fact must be clearly understood : namely, the College
must have students. The College needs students that are to go
back to their local communities and establish themselves in
businesses and thus show the usefulness of their training; the
College needs those who are seeking to prepare to teach — it mat-
ters not whether they are to teach in elementary, secondary, or
training for higher courses for college teaching; then as has al-
ways been true the College needs boys who wish to dedicate their
lives to the ministry. This is a crying need now when the
business world is offering such wonderful possibilities of bright
success. As a matter of fact, the College needs students to train
for every vocation and calling of life because it can best be
known by having its representatives in every walk of life over
the State and in other states.
It is unthinkable that any Alumnus would do otherwise than
serve his Alma Mater by encouraging students to come and
patrons to contribute their means. But he is under obligation
to do more than this. He has not performed his full duty until
he has actually given conclusive reasons why Atlantic Christian
College is the institution for spiritual, intellectual and social
training on account of its specially designed curriculum, its
Christian leadership in the administration both on the part of
its teachers, officers, and board of trustees. And, furthermore,
each Alumnus is in obedience obligated to explain both by word
of mouth and precept the true and lasting values derived from
Christian education.
This opportunity is taken again to invite every Alumnus to
the College this coming May for the Annual Alumni Banquet
and it is urgently requested that each come prepared to say
something about the Alumni organization that will make it
more nearly serve the interests of the members, the school, and
the cause for which it all stands. We want to inaugurate a
constructive plan for the future work and development of the
Association. Let a large number be present and start the
work to going nicely and with the hope and prayer that it will
benefit us all. J. Ernest Paschall.

HOPE
Bonita Wolff.
Dawn in the eastern heavens
Brings light and hope and love,
When God paints the crimson sunrise
With glory from above.
Morning, the dew-kissed earth
Rejoices to greet the day,
The birds sing a carol of hope
Happy, blithesome, gay.
Noon, the rose is in bloom,
The bud of hope unfolds,
And God in His heaven above
His worshippers beholds.
Twilight and sunset gold,
Hope sinks not with the sun
For man looks for tomorrow —
Tomorrow, not yet begun.
Night, and the earth is at rest,
Gone is the sun's last ray,
And hope with uplifted eyes
Waits the dawn of another day.

THE WOKTHY IDEAL.
W. T. MATTOX
That an ideal has great influence in the shaping of men's
lives and determining their destinies is recognized by all
classes of men from the savage to the philosopher. Within
these limits we find divers ideals and various estimates of their
values. A knowledge of man's instinct to imitate almost forces
one to conclude that no man can escape the influence of some
sort of an ideal. To say that a man has no ideal is only an-
other way of saying that he is living a purposeless life ; and it
is hard to conceive a human life which has absolutely no pur-
pose. If such there be I can see no reason or even excuse for
their existence. That there are those who have unworthy ideals
is abundantly evidenced on every hand. And this fact furnishes
every organization and institution, which have as their purpose
the uplifting of mankind, with their most fundamental problem,
and that problem consists in replacing unworthy with worthy
ideals, ideals that are worthy of him whom God created in His
own image and but little lower than Himself. The ideal which
is worthy of God's man surely has definite characteristics where-
by it may be recognized as the highest ideal. My task is to
show briefly what a few of these characteristics are.
As the first of these characteristics I would mention unsel-
fishness. Whatever else the great war has taught us, it is sure
that we have received from it a clearer vision of what it means
to be unselfish. Nations as well as individuals learned through
necessity to act in concert for the accomplishment of one com-
mon end, forgetting to some extent their own selfish desires.
Who can estimate the value to the American people of the
"meatless" days, "wheatless" days and "gasolineless" Sundays,
to say nothing of the greater sacrifices which were made in terms
of money and life ? The man whose ideal teaches him that the
world "owes him a living" is the man with whom the world
could dispense without loss to itself. Countless centuries have
2
100 The Radiant
passed, each one contributing to the heritage of the man of the
twentieth century. They have laid the fruits of mistakes and
successes of countless generations at our feet, and the man who
believes the world owes him anything more than the privilege
to pass these fruits on to other generations is a parasite on
society. The man with the highest ideal realizes that he is not
only his brother's keeper, but has within his own hands a share
in the welfare of future generations.
For the lack of a better term I designate the second character-
istic progressive. By this I mean that one's ideal should grow
just in proportion as he approaches it in his life. No man
should be satisfied with having attained an ideal which is the
product of youthful years or childish dreams. I suppose every
college man in looking back over his life can remember when
his educational ideal was simply a high school diploma, and
when that was attained his ideal moved up to the end of a col-
lege course, and when he thought he almost had it within his
grasp at the end of that four years of drudgery it evaded him
again and is still luring him on. There is a legend concern-
ing the call of Abraham, which adequately illustrates my
thought. As the legend has it : Abraham, whose ancestors were
fire worshippers, while watching his sheep one night caught
sight of the bright evening star and turning to it said : "This
shall be my God," but when the star sank beneath the horizon
he said : "I'll have no God that sets." Just then the moon
came up and Abraham turning to it said : "Surely this shall
be my God," but as the night wore on the moon hid her face
from his sight, and he again turned away saying : "I'll have
no God that sets." Soon the kino - of day, the sun, poured forth
its rays upon Abraham, and taking heart he said once again :
"This shall be my God," but when the evening shadows drove
the sun from Abraham's sight he again turned away in disgust
saying : "I'll have no God that sets, I'll worship neither sun nor
moon nor star, but I'll worship Him who is the cause of the
causes." And Abraham was an idolater no longer. We, like
Abraham, should ever be ready to accept the highest ideal
The Radiant 101
which our vision brings us. To do anything less would be
disloyal to ourselves as well as to God.
The third and last characteristic I would mention is univer-
sality. The events of the past decade have forced the great
nations of the world to realize that they are living in a universe
instead of a multiverse. The man who would be a leader of men
in the twentieth century must have an ideal big enough to lead
his thinking and sympathy to the ends of the earth, including
every human being that inhabits the globe. It was the universal
ideal that gave birth to such movements as the "League of
Nations" and "The Inter-Church World Movement." And it
is this same ideal that has made "The Anti-Saloon League"
dissatisfied with what it has accomplished on the American
Continent, and has caused it to pitch its tents on foreign shores
to begin battle there in the interest of world-wide prohibition.
It has been said that big tasks make big men ; may we not go
one step further back and say big ideals make big tasks and
they in turn make big men.
In an age that is throbbing with the spirit of universal
brotherhood we should not be content to renew ideals that are
the products of an individualistic age.
Man is to such an extent the victim of his senses that he at
once demands a concrete example of the ideal that shall embody
such characteristics. To whom may he go but to Jesus of
Nazareth? He it was who lived, taught and died unselfishly.
He it is whose character grows more profound with our every
effort to learn and imitate it. He it is whose spirit is teaching
us that one is our Father and all we are brethern.

OUR MISSIONARY.
F. F. HARPER
In 1909 Mr. C. Manly Morton graduated
from Atlantic Christian College, a young man
of high ideals and most worthy ambition. His
four years College Course was marked by tena-
city of purpose, an unyielding devotion to what-
ever he believed to be the right, and a whole-
some interest in all College affairs. The pro-
fession of law appealed to him very strongly, but the call of the
Christ was stronger, and feeling in his heart that, "Woe is me if
I preach not the Gospel," he was ordained during his College
career to the Christian Ministry. After leaving school he
served as pastor for churches in the State for a number of
years. In 1914, he decided to give his life to mission work on
the foreign field, and accordingly, he entered College of Mis-
sions, Indianapolis, in the fall of that year. He remained there
for two years making especial preparation for Latin America.
The mission in Argentina greatly needed reenforcement, and
Mr. Morton was assigned to that station. In August, 1916, he
was happily married to Miss Selah Beam, who was also a stu-
dent at College of Missions, and after a brief visit with rela-
tives and friends in his home town, these young people sailed
for South America to begin their life work as missionaries.
After the South American Regional Conferences and the
Panama Congress in 1916, the Republic of Paraguay was as-
signed to the Disciples of Christ for evangelization, and was
accepted by the Christian Woman's Board of Missions. Mr.
and Mrs. Morton were asked to take the Avork there and are
now located at Asuncion, a city of about 100,000 people. This
Missionary Board plans to establish in the heart of this capital
city a school at a cost of about $150,000 which will be under
The Radiant 103
the direction of Mr. Morton and his coworkers. Mr. Morton has
been for four years the living link of the College and the Wil-
son Christian Church. A. C. C . follows with abiding interest this
loyal son of hers, knowing that his qualities of leadership and
steadfast devotion to the conviction of his life will mean much
in the battle for right.
COLLEGE NEWS
TnTelle Krise.
The College has been under quarantine since the sixth of Feb-
ruary due to the influenza epidemic. Many cases were reported
in town during the past weeks, but fortunately only two cases
developed in the College. The ban was lifted, officially, the
twenty-seventh, and we are again in contact with the outside
world.
The Rev. Mr. Stewart of the First Christian Church has
been suffering with pneumonia. The College has been anxiously
watching his recovery and is glad he is steadily improving.
Members of the College faculty and student body received the
following invitation :
Mrs. C. Alice Respass
invites you to be present
at the marriage of her daughter
Sarah Matilda
to
Dr. Harry Vann Latham
on Wednesday morning, the fourteenth of January

Miss Respass is pleasantly remembered as a student here
during the years 1917-18.
The members of the College Faculty and student-body of the
College were delightfully entertained at a "Musical Tea" given

The girls of the D. D. Club entertained at a delightful Leap
Year Party, given in the Domestic Science rooms, Monday eve-
ning, February 23d.
The rooms were beautifully decorated in ferns and the club
colors, red and black. A cheerful fire burned in the open grate
and gave an additional glow of merriment to the games and

fortune telling. The chief enjoyment of the evening was candy
making, and the favors were packages of the delicious taffy
wrapped in the D. D. colors.
In true leap year style the girls called for the boys and after
the evening's gaities were over, bade them good night on the
doorstep of the "boys' dorm."
Those present were :

Manufactured Verbs
The use of verbs manufactured out of nouns is satirized in the story
of the city boy who wrote to his brother on the farm : "Thursday we
autoed out to the Country Club, where we golfed until dark. Then
we trolleyed back to town and danced till dawn. Then we motored
to the beach and Fridayed there." The brother on the farm wrote
back : "Yesterday we buggied to town and baseballed all afternoon.
Then we went to Ned's and pokered till morning. Today we muled
out to the cornfield and gee-hawed till sundown. Then we suppered
and then we piped for a while. After that we staircased up to our
room and bedsteaded until the clock flved." — E&w. B. Hughes in The
Writer.
A Leap Year Soliloquy
(With apologies to Shakespeare)
To wed, or not to wed, that is the question,
Whether 'tis nobler of the maid to suffer
The stings and scoffs of lone old maidhood
Or to take arms against a piece of manhood
And, by embracing, win him? To wed, and flirt
No more ; and by a wedding say we end
The heartache and the thousand jealous pangs
That girls are heir to — 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To wed — To live —
To hope — Perchance to dream ! Ay, there's the rub,
For in that wedded life what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this single bliss
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes singleness of so long life;
110 The Radiant
For who would bear the crooks and turns of fate,
The lover's quarrels, the wedding day delayed,
The pangs of despis'd love, the loneliness,
The busy world's demands, and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When she herself might take another name
By a mere ceremony? Who would teach a school?
To grunt and sweat under a weary life
But that the dread of cooking for a man,
That unaccustomed labor in whose ways
So few of us are skilled, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather do those tasks we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus thinking does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And courtships of great pith and moment,
With this regard, their currents turn awry
And lose the name of wedding. Soft you now,
Here comes a man !
A voice from the second floor : Who is it that rings a long, a short,
and a long, about sixty-five times a day for the third floor?
Nettie May : I 'low that's Mr. Brabec cryin' for Miss Krise.

Genius burns — but only so long as the power is turned on. (From
